This is our go-to spot for a seafood boil fix in the area. I'm always appreciative and shocked when I walk in that the place isn't packed, which I'm NOT complaining about. Spacious and clean! On my most recent visit, we were immediately seated, and shortly after, a server came by to take our order. They provide gloves, an apron, hand wipes, and plastic utensils. I ordered the half-pound mild garlic butter seafood boil with shrimp (without the head), which came with potatoes and corn, and I added sausages. The seafood boil is always tasty. Yummy! I had a cosmo (wasn't strong, but a cute drink to sip while I devoured my seafood boil). Definitely a good spot for seafood boil lovers! read more

We came here on a couple occasions for our late lunch/happy hour Fridays, including yesterday. And each time I'm confused as to where the entrance is (on the side of 2nd street with no access from the parking lot). Anyway, it always seems fairly empty but there is usually a steady flow of a few people coming in and out. As you walk in, it's open and CLEAN which is very important to me. The crab legs and very well priced drinks NEVER disappoint, the sauces are amazing and the service is also consistent. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Philly! read more

I have never seen this place crowded. At first you can't tell if this chain restaurant is even going to be good Their cocktails are nuts? So good. Only had 1 and as a heavy drinker I had to go....am I intoxicated already? Their boil bag made me want to actually drink the butter after the fact and I'm very much lactose intolerant. Service wasn't memorable but honestly the food and drinks were the true highlight read more

Damn I wish I remember my waiters name. It's been so long since I've eaten here but from the time since I have been here I can tell you this. I've thought of this place numerous times and I've recommended it to many people after me. The waiter was a younger Asian guy super cool. Great suggestions. The food here was the bomb I'm really not going to write a super drastic review but I can tell you it's been ... ( I looked it up I dined here August 16th around 1:30pm ) This place is good I wish I had taken pictures but I was so hungry I just tore everything up. Just go !!! It was great inside. Lots of seating. Very clean even the restroom. read more

Food here is always good fresh seafood and the boiled combo specials never disappointing .

So we literally arrive 20 minutes before closing ... HORRIBLE I KNOWWWW !!!! But in our defense, we weren't sure exactly of the hours. We were courteously greeted and seated very quickly. There were a few other parties that were there. They were closing out their tab. The night was absolutely closing up. When we sat down, we weren't sure exactly what we wanted to drink so we talk the staff and they had recommended some drink drinks based on what we like, he definitely asked what we kinda liked sweet versus strong versus a little tart and his recommendation. We're spot one I got the mango martini which was delicious and my daughters got Mai Tai ! Next week look at the menu and kinda decide what we wanted when we arrived. There was literally only maybe about 10 minutes before the kitchen close and so you know, the waiter was very gracious and letting us know. Hey we kinda have to make this a little quick if you wanna get your order in before and so we were able to make Choices and He did give a little bit of input and so with that we did place our orders.. When I say this place was nothing short of amazing one of the best crab boils I've had from Phoenix to Philadelphia. It was perfectly flavored, but wasn't too spicy. The quality of crabs and shrimp was great !! The crab legs were tender and juicy and easy to crack, and the quantity of shrimp that I got with my platter was above what I expected. 10 out of 10 highly recommend !!! I can't to go back !!!! read more

I've driven to Baltimore to get a seafood boil. You know, through two states for a weeknight dinner. Because I love seafood boils. I can't think of a simple & quick meal that I love more. Well, I looked high and low through Philly and south Jersey to find someplace that made a seafood boil that was at least... acceptable. There were a lot of tries and a lot of fails. Then I found The Shake Seafood (originally the one on Coffman). Finally. It's a good boil. Their house sauce is a good sauce. Their spice levels actually spice. The seafood is always fresh. The portion sizes are nice. The prices are reasonable. It does all the things. I still have to give it 4 stars because Baltimore holds down the 5s, but it's definitely the best that Philly has to offer. read more

My food had a rusty nail in my order. It pierced my mouth while I was eating, luckily I didn't swallow it. I tried to contact the store about the issue and just received nasty service from the so called manager and was hung up on. I will never order from here again. Good luck to anyone who does! read more

Only been there once and it was a nice experience. Different from any ither eatery places I've been to. Food was great service was different having to wait for food number to be called and brought out to you. But all in all nothing bad to say about this place! read more

Seafood lovers, this is an alright seafood place if you need to satisfy cravings. I came with a friend and ordered 2 pounds of their crawfish in the garlic butter and shake sauce. The quality of the crawfish was good and it came with potatoes and sweet corn. However, to be honest the sauces were average and compared to other seafood boil restaurants, could be more flavorful. The difference in taste between the garlic and shake sauces were also minimal (you could probably switch them and it would be difficult to tell they were different sauces at all). Service was slightly lacking. My friend ordered snow crab legs and did not receive any crab crackers or utensils to break it down. While waiting for a server to walk by or notice us, none appeared so we had to search for someone and request it. Overall - good food and service could be improved but not a bad choice for a seafood boil! read more

The Shake Seafood - 1 lb of the crawfish boil - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place is a great spot if you're looking for some flavorful and spicy seafood. Servers are always attentive and helpful the few times I've been here Once you order the food it comes out so quick. I love the spicy snow crabs not too many good joints around Philly bringing the spiciness in seafood Place is really clean and the setting is ship inspired They have a bar area with TV for a more casual dining experience as well read more

This place is overpriced for what they serve. The portions are tiny and everything is served on disposable paper containers. So you basically get charged sit-down restaurant prices for a fast-food restaurant experience. read more

Easy, fun group dinner option. It's hard to have a bad time wearing a bib and drinking from a flaming scorpion bowl. Keep it simple; our order was baby clams, shrimp, crawfish, sausage, potatoes, corn in garlic butter and I'd order that exact same "bag" again. Cajun fries were also a hit. read more

More like 3.5 stars, not bad but not great. Came here with friends and my food was good! Their food was just okay though. Our server was doing his own thing majority of the time. Overall felt like a chain restaurant type of vibe. read more

The order was batched. When I placed the first order, the system said it had timed out and it did not go through. Therefore, I placed another order the exact same order and the system confirmed successful. The system said I would receive a call when my order was delivered, I did not. I went downstairs after an hour to find two bags from the restaurant my order has been duplicated evidently the first order did go through even though the system said it had timed out and it did not go through therefore I was charged twice For the exact same order and received duplicate orders. The food was barely warm and the catfish is not catfish. I don't know what kind of fish it is, but it is not catfish. read more

Our first time here and definitely won't be our last time. Compared to crab Dijour. This place is better quality of food portion of food service. I would recommend this place to anyone . if you wanna get your little drink on there is a little bar. oh, and by the way, very clean bathrooms, which always a plus. Bring your kids and your family and you will have an awesome time read more

It was just alright but the shrimp was mushy and old. The customer service was pretty bad as they wouldn't answer any questions and tried to rush me off the phone. read more

We ordered takeout here last Friday and the food was fantastic. We got shrimp, clams, and sausage and loved everything. Big portions, fresh, and well packaged. Inside looked great as well- we will have to come back to eat in person. Highly recommend! read more

This place is fire! It was everything I wanted it to be. The shake sauce is the way to go. The seafood choices are plentiful. You just get some rice and noodles on the side and throw it in the sauce. The experience is tailored to whatever you want. Will def be back. I'm glad this pace exists and I need it to continue to stay in this location read more
